ERNEST READ
Ernest Read has five golden rules for his nine-to-eleven-year olds ! ' (i) Be always ready; (2) Listen intelligently and imagine I am speaking to you yourself; (3) Listen actively and do everything you are asked to quickly and joyfully ; (4) Feel the rhythm of every song or phrase, tapping the pulses quietly on your desk ; (5) Hear with your eye ; in other words, at all times follow the tunes and phrases with your eye, whether singing or listening.'

A. H. Winter, assisted by M.B. Gilbert

Ever since 'Early Stages in German' was started in 1933, it has been conducted by A. H. Winter. He has been lecturer in German at the Polytechnic, Regent Street, London, since 1927, and Professor of German at the Royal Academy of Music since 1932.

As with the French broadcasts, there has been a modification of the German broadcast lessons, the idea being to avoid the danger of boys and girls in the classes merely being passive listeners, and to make these lessons on the air even more useful and interesting.

A.H. Winter leads them in the carrying out of simple games, gets them to sing songs with him and to take part in 3ther items in the nature of surprises. Moreover, other German speakers - both men and women - are brought to the microphone from time to time so that pupils may grow used to a variety of voices.

(From Glasgow)

Last week a dramatic feature was broadcast from Scotland dealing with the heroic life of Mary Slessor, the missionary, one of a number of biographical programmes that have been given during the last twelve months. This evening, National listeners are to hear another of the same series, the life of James Watt, the famous inventor who was born two hundred years ago.

As Sir Alexander Gibb points out in an article on page 7, James Watt was not the first to harness steam, nor was he inspired by watching his mother's kettle. But listeners will be well compensated for any dispelled illusions: they will find an unexpected wealth of romance in Watt's varied life without the inclusion of doubtful facts.

SOPHIE WYSS (soprano)
THE NEW LONDON TRIO :
David Wise (violin) ; Norina Semino (violoncello) : John Pauer (pianoforte) Vitezslav Novak (born in Bohemia in 1870), together with Joseph Suk and Janacek, is generally considered one of the leaders of modern Czech music. He was a favourite pupil of Dvorak, but his earlier works show more of the influence of Schumann and Brahms. Later in life Novak drew his inspiration from national sources, and some of his more important works are based on folk tunes. His output is large, and includes operas, symphonic poems, many choral works, songs and chamber music.
He wrote two Piano Trios, of which this, his Op. 27, is the second. It is in one movement, and is marked ' in the style of a ballad '. The music is strongly rhythmical, passionate in character, effectively scored for the three instruments, and is developed from a single theme.
